You should check to see if a driver for your sound card has been installed; XP may not have one for your card. You can check this by right-clicking My Computer, selecting Properties, going to the Hardware tab, and launching the Device Manager. If any devices have a yellow question mark, then they do not have a driver installed. You need to find a driver for the card, either on the computer manufacturer's site, or the producer of the sound card (ie. Yamaha, Creative, Intel, etc...).
